The workshop addressed four objectives, as follows:
to provide a broad overview of the methods and tools available for conducting
vulnerability and impact assessments for coastal regions;
to provide participants with a structured application of an assessment methodology
in a set of case study based exercises;
to develop a practical workplan for undertaking an actual study by country
teams, given constraints in data availability.
to initiate a network of sea level rise analysts in Africa and Arab States
